From over forty Dutch newspapers the articles on colonial subjects, mainly concerning the Dutch East and West Indies, but also articles about other colonial powers and Asian nations, were selected and indexed. The index was kept annually, and in this micropublication each year starts on a new microfiche, containing the key words from A to Z for that year. These alphabetically ordered key words (in Dutch) are geographical names, personal names and subject terms and they refer to one-line descriptions of the contents of an article in a newspaper, with the date of publication.
